Comrades: A Revolutionary RPG
Publisher: W.M. Akers

I love the author's work, from Deadball the great baseball simulator to his new novel Westside that hit shelves this week. "Comrades" is another example of his great vision for finding and writing great stories based on important details from history. In this RPG, your group selects roles to create a group of revolutionaries. The example setting is essentially right out of the Bolshevik Revolution, but he also shows examples of stories set in present day and the distant future. The common element is that you and your friends are out to fight "the man" and create a future where the oppressed rise up and take the power back.

The details are well thought out and provide a framework for a GM to let loose their creativity. It's well worth the small investment to get involved in an RPG that puts the fun back into raging against the machine. Akers is a master of using history to create experiences that are engaging and realistic. This is no exception. And you should also check out Deadball (also here in DriveThruRPG) and his other work too!

Deadball: Baseball With Dice

This game is really great. Easy to learn, with mechanics based on the statistics from the game, you can play a nine-inning game in less than an hour. My favorite part is using the five-tool system to create my own players, including my daughter who is a ground-ball specialist pitching ace and my own avatar, a slow, power-hitting catcher. The game creates great storylines that really feel like a baseball game, like late inning rallies off of tiring pitchers and clutch performances from pinch hitters.

Akers did a great job with this game - it's a real gem that I love to spend an hour or two with the game.
